俄烏戰爭爆發至今,吸引不少外國志願兵前往前線參戰,然而如今卻傳出有拉丁美洲毒梟組織藉機「偷師」,疑似前往烏克蘭參戰。媒體分析,墨西哥與哥倫比亞的毒梟卡特爾(Cartel)組織,正透過派遣傭兵赴烏參戰,藉此獲取最新的無人機實戰經驗與技術。
根據外媒報導,社群平台近期流傳1段影片,畫面中1名身穿戰鬥服裝的拉丁美洲裔男子,揮舞著武器對鏡頭大聲高呼幫派口號。隨後,鏡頭轉向另1名男子,他則對著鏡頭喊道:「榮耀歸於烏克蘭!墨西哥萬歲、哥倫比亞萬歲、巴拿馬萬歲!」
統計顯示,目前約有6400名拉丁美洲籍志願兵在烏克蘭武裝部隊中服役,約占預估1.6萬名外國戰士總數的40%。其中,又以哥倫比亞人占絕大多數。自2022年俄烏戰爭爆發以來,非官方估計已有1500至2500名哥倫比亞人前往參戰,主因多為該國許多退伍軍人擁有豐富實戰背景,加上烏克蘭提供的報酬對其經濟誘因極大。
然而,這股志願參戰潮卻成為毒梟組織的「無人機實習班」。《華盛頓郵報》等外媒報導指出,墨西哥販毒集團正投入大量資金,吸引從烏克蘭戰場返回的傭兵,甚至直接資助人員(特別是哥倫比亞傭兵)前往烏克蘭前線。
其主要目的,正是為了讓這些傭兵在當代最具規模的「無人機消耗戰」中學習最新型的無人機操作、改裝與FPV自殺無人機戰術,以便日後返國將技術應用於販毒集團之間的領地爭奪,甚至用來對抗墨國與哥國的軍警單位。俄烏戰場上的軍事技術外流至犯罪集團,已為拉美地區的治安埋下嚴重的安全隱憂。
